Article 14
natural rights of any of the people under the jurisdiction of any of the
sovereign nations or micro-nations.
Any war or threat of war, whether immediately affecting any of the Fellowship or
not, is hereby declared a matter of concern to the whole Fellowship, and the
Fellowship shall take any action that may be deemed wise and effectual to
safeguard the peace of all nations and micro-nations. In case any such emergency
should arise the Permanent Secretary shall, on the request of any Member of the
Fellowship, summon a meeting of the Assembly to provide guidance as to the
appropriate action and shall effect a vote of the Tribunal.
It is also declared to be the friendly right of each Member of the Fellowship to
bring to the attention of the Assembly any circumstance affecting international
relations which threatens to disturb international peace or the good
understanding between nations upon which peace depends. The Assembly may, if
it deems the threat to be significant, issue guidance and instruct the Permanent
Secretary to call a vote in accordance with the provisions of Article 12.
Article 15
The Members of the Fellowship agree that if there should arise between them any
dispute likely to lead to a rupture, they will submit the matter to inquiry by the
Assembly which shall address the matter in accordance with Article 12.
In any case under this Article the decision of the Tribunal shall be made within a
reasonable time.
Article 16
The Members of the Fellowship agree that whenever any dispute shall arise
between them which they recognise to be suitable for submission to the Assembly
and which cannot be satisfactorily settled by diplomacy, they will submit the whole
subject-matter to the Assembly.
Disputes as to the interpretation of a treaty, as to any question of right and proper
action, as to the existence of any fact which if established would constitute a
breach of any international obligation, or as to the extent and nature of
the reparation to be made for any such breach, are declared to be among those
which are generally suitable for submission to the Assembly.
Article 17
The Members of the Fellowship agree that they will carry out in full good faith
any decision that may be rendered by the Tribunal, and that they will not resort to
war against a Member of the Fellowship which com plies therewith. In the event of
any failure to carry out such a decision, the Assembly shall propose what steps
should be taken to give effect thereto.
Where a vote of the Tribunal results in an outcome for which equity, meaning
natural justice, ought to demand a further award, the Assembly shall determine
the nature and extent of the award.
Article 18
If there should arise between Members of the Fellowship any dispute likely to
lead to a rupture, which is not submitted to the Assembly by the Members who
are a party to said dispute in accordance with Article 13, the remaining Members
of the Fellowship agree that they will submit the matter to the Assembly
immediately upon becoming aware of its existence. Any Member of the
Fellowship may effect such submission by giving notice of the existence of the
